Wesley's Notes

7:23 The general prohibition of eating fat, Lev 3:17, is here explained of those kind of creatures which were sacrificed. The fat of others they might eat.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

7:11-27 As to the peace-offerings, in the expression of their sense of mercy, God left them more at liberty, than in the expression of their sense of sin; that their sacrifices, being free-will offerings, might be the more acceptable, while, by obliging them to bring the sacrifices of atonement, God shows the necessity of the great Propitiation. The main reason why blood was forbidden of old, was because the Lord had appointed blood for an atonement. This use, being figurative, had its end in Christ, who by his death and blood-shedding caused the sacrifices to cease. Therefore this law is not now in force on believers.


Leviticus 3:17 'It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall not eat any fat or any blood.'" (NASB ©1995)

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

fat Any other {fat} they might eat; but the fat of these was sacred, because they were the only animals which were offered in sacrifice, though many others ranked among the {clean} animals as well as these. This prohibition may, however, be understood of these animals {when} offered in sacrifice, and {then only} in reference to the {inward} fat, described in verse 4. Of the fat in any other circumstances, it cannot be intended, as it was one of the especial blessings which God gave to his people.-- `Butter of kind, and milk of sheep, with {fat} of {lambs}, and {rams} of the breed of Bashan, and {goats}, were the provision which he graciously bestowed on his followers. (See DE 32:12-14) Le 3:16,17 4:8-10 17:6 De 32:38 1Sa 2:15-17,29 Ac 28:27 Ro 8:13 13:13
